this was the email from the captain last week.  he had just got back from almost killing himself on at least 3 separate occasions in arizona, and had arranged a pylon run in kilbirdie!   i was all over it - so was everhard - and we took the little red mazda, but i made him drive.  cy was the only other pylon to show up and we had a great run!  little bit of everything - snow, dirt, mud and ice.   sooo good to see the guys again!

the lovely mrs. p was trying to get some paperwork done the other day, so me and to-nay took turns looking after 'the little one'.  i'm not sure which one of us looked more awkard!

me and everhard have signed up for a 50 miler in august, and so i figured i'd better re-enlist the help of the incredible coach spaff to get me back on track.  i've been kinda lazy all winter in regards to speed/seizure work, so the first attempt at a tempo run was pretty pathetic!   good gawd!  could i be ANY slower ...

friday i paid a visit to sakred skinz where my good buddy fig was getting some work done by artist extraordinaire shawn legrow!   can't wait to see the finished product - so far it looks amazing!

oh ya, so meanwhile, we'd had this big stoopid ice storm friday morning!  

once i got back to the treehouse, i headed into albion for an hour. 

okay, it was kinda pretty ...

then friday night, back into bolton for crossfit.  more stoopid chest to bars - WITHOUT the secret weapon this time!  first of all, i was real pleased to up my 20 rep max back squat to 135lbs!   but then i totally trashed my hands doing the c2b's ...

great great group!  even fig showed up!

and then saturday, after training a few people, and some paleo pancakes, i made my way into palgrave for a 3 hour 'slush run'.  no ice left, but lots of squishy snow.  did a little out and back to the gore ...

and couldn't wait to sit in my car and put on a dry pair of sox!  FUCK my feet were cold!

oh ya, and finally, results from 13.5 and the 2013 crossfit games.  for workout 13.5, i was 7th in canada east, and 129th worldwide, and overall i finished 7th in canada east and 61st worldwide.   as expected, my friend kathy qualified in the masters women 40-44 age category by placing 5th worldwide and will be going to the games in july!  how kool is that!?

and i leave you with this ...
